SHADE-HOLDER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 772,886, dated October 18, 1904. Application filed March 5, 1904. Serial No. 196,685. (No modeLl To @ZZ whom it may concern,.-

Beit known that I, FREDERICK R. HUSE, of Boston, county of Suffolk, State of Massachusetts, have invented an Improvement in Shade- Holders, of which the following description, in connection with the accompanying drawings, is a specification, like-characters on the drawings representing like parts.

This invention relates to shade-holders for VVelsbach and other incandescent lamps, and has for its object to construct an improved form of shade-holder Vand also to provide a mica chimney, which is ordinarily used on Welsbach burners, with a shade-holder adapted to be removably connected therewith.

Figure 1 shows in side elevation and partial section a mica chimney provided with a shadeholder embodying thisinvention. Figs. Qand 3 are enlarged details showing side and plan. .Views of one of the brackets of the shadeholder. Fig. .Lis a modified form of bracket which may be employed.

The mica chimney is composed, essentially, of several sections a of mica secured together by longitudinal strips b of metal and by metallic end rings c. The shade-holder consists of several brackets OZ, adapted to be secured to the longitudinal strips b, and, as represented in Figs. l, 2, and 3, the brackets are made of wire, yet they may bemade of sheet metal, as shown in Fig. 4, and in either instance they are formed or provided'with an inclined side or edge upon which the shade rests and with la pair of hooks d', which are disposed in vertical alinement. The hooks are projected throughholes d2, provided in the longitudinal metal strips of the chimney, and thereby brought into iirm engagement with said chimney. The chimney will be provided with. a plurality of brackets arranged in the same plane to constitute the shade-holder.

The brackets d maybe removed from the chimney at will, so that in case it is not desired'to use them the chimney will be devoid of objectionable projections or extensions, al-

though thelongitudinal metal strips 6 of the chimney may be provided with holes cl2, s o that whenever desired the brackets may be engaged therewith.

The strips b may each have several holes d2, 1f desired, arranged 1n avertical row, so that the shade-holder may be disposed at different with the holes in the mica sections, and a shade-holder consisting of lbrackets having hooks in vertical alinement which pass through the holes in the longitudinal strips, andjpass through the holes in the mica sections and bear against the same, substantially as de-` scribed.

3. As an article of manufacture, a lampchimney provided with holes therethrough,

vided with downwardly-eXtending hooks in vertical alinement, said hooks designed to engage the holes of the lamp-chimney, substantially as described.

4. As an article of manufacture, a lampchimney provided with holes, a longitudinal strip provided with holes, and a shade-holder comprising brackets having upper and lower hooks, said lower hook being longer than the Lipper one, and both of said hooks designed to pass through the holes in the lamp-chimney and theholes in the longitudinal strips, substantially as described. j

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of`two subscribing witnesses.
